An Introduction to Typography...
Kudos to my man, Ted, for introducing me to typography in his blog. (What? You're not reading The Transmutation Effect on a regular basis? You've missed some cool shit, my friend. Get up on that.) Also, Patton Oswalt likes him!
Some of the clip that I'm about to post here, I've cribbed directly from Ted's blog. Just know that up front.
But they're damned awesome. And the more that I research typography on Youtube, the cooler shit that I find. I am really impressed with the variety of the the animation style that these animators use. It's funny how much emotion they can squeeze out of either a font choice or a color choice or a graphic choice.
And to keep you reading this post, let me tell you here that I've posted my favorite typography video last. So, either work your way there or skip ahead. Either way, don't miss it.
Also, these videos are typically pretty short. So, don't sweat that I've linked you to some overly long video. And some of the language is NOT SAFE FOR WORK. So, know that, too. Obviously, they all work best with sound!
First up, this groovy clip from Oceans Eleven!
Finally, someone wrote down the "actual" rules to Fight Club. And then animated them.
A quickie. Here's the Streetlight Manifesto!
Here's a clip from "Pulp Fiction" presented typographically. (Please note, the language is not safe for work.) I like Brett's purple "Hiska Hiska"s!
This is "Titled", with music by Philip Glass. Don't bother trying to read it. You can't. Just lay back and enjoy the trip, man.
This one kills me. Really, it's Bob Barkers finest work. It's called "Ask them, Ladies..."
You have GOT TO try "Space Food Sticks!" From Pillsbury!
A speech from "American Beauty".
But for the best...
For the absolutely coolest typography video I've ever seen...

Cheers,

Chris Baziddle has made me famous!
Hey,
I am the guy who made the streetlight manifesto animation. It's was for a college project. Thanks for featuring me here.
Hey there, Mr. Manifesto!
You do very fine work, indeed, sir. Thanks for publicly posting such a cool video. I hope that this wee little post brings more attention to your very nice work.
If you have a website where people can view more of your work, please don't hesitate to post it in here. I can also add it to my links section.
Cheers,
Mr.B
